Part 89
The next morning
as Josh and Grace left their apartment and made their way to the restaurant
they’d chosen for lunch, Josh looked over at Grace. She’d been silent for a
while. He asked “you okay?”
Smiling Grace
nodded “yeah just thinking.”
“What about?”
Looking at him
Grace said with caution “you know how the other day I suggested that you find a
way to farewell Gavin?”
“Yeah” Josh
nodded a frown coming down on his face.
“Well I think I
may have come up with something.”
Still frowning as
he wondered what was coming he said “what?”
“I was talking
to Margaret last night and she mentioned how you all used to go to a lake
during summer and that you and Gavin both liked to fish.”
Looking away
from her Josh said “I haven’t gone fishing since Gavin…” But unable to finish
this sentence he changed his wording to a less personal version. “...since the
accident”
Wary, watching
his somber expression Grace said “well what if we all took a trip to the lake.
It might be a nice way to remember Gavin.” Then studying his troubled expression
as he remained silent she added “maybe we should ask Margaret and Robert at
lunch and see what they think?”
But Josh needed
time to consider this first and said “let me think about it okay?”
“Sure Josh, I
just thought it was something you could all do together to remember the good
times with Gavin. But it’s up to you.”
Thankful as ever
to have Grace in his life Josh pulled her close and kissed her head. “Leave it
with me” then after a pause he added “thanks.”
Looking up at
him Grace smiled.
